How to share your Instagram story to your Facebook account

The rise of smartphone adoption has led to a surge in social media users on apps like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and others all around the world. Meta-owned platform Facebook and Instagram have also recorded a good user gain over the period of time, especially after the COVID-19 lockdown.  When it comes to sharing posts and stories on the two social media platforms, you might occasionally want to share your Instagram story on Facebook as well.
